I have Jeff Foxworthy and welcome to Gamekeeper Podcast.

If you want to learn more about farming for wildlife and habitat management, then buddy,

you are in the right place.

Join the gamekeeper crew direct from Malsie Oakland Enhancement Studio as they discuss the latest

wildlife and habitat management practices, news, and of course, hunting.

There's no telling what you'll learn, but I'm going to tell you, I bet it's interesting.

Enjoy.

We're live in three, two, one.

We're... That's some good stuff right there. That's some good stuff right there.

So everybody welcome. Here we there. So everybody, welcome.

Here we are at West Point, Mississippi. Did you hear those gnats sounds? I want to. Those were nats. Those were birds. I thought this. But no turkey gobble. What happened? No turkey gobbles. What? Named some of the birds you heard. I know several. The first one was a titmouse, and there was a cardinal in there in a morning duff.

I watched the videos.

I saw it. I can tell what time of year it is by what the birds are saying. You sure can. How about that? Beth's blood pressure medicine just about there is. That's a good way to put it. So we're going to talk about something today. Let me just read this. Just read it. Have you got something to read?

Before we get these guys in a case. You got your readers on? You got a smooze it queued up, Richie. We all love birds. And most of us grew up hunting birds with BB guns. I'm just going to say. Oh, my God. Bobby, no way. But that meant we all loved birds. Oh, Bobby. Did you know that bird populations across nearly all of America's habitats have been declining,

including familiar and beloved species like the American Robbins and Morning Dogs,

even where they were once most numerous?

Because of these shifts have occurred over decades, it's easy for these changes to go unnoticed.

Fortunately, the USGS, North American Breeding Bird Survey has been meticulously tracking these trends and other fascinating bird-related data for nearly 60 years.

Oh, wow.

This week, we have two scientists from the survey that will share their insights and shed

light on the ongoing story of our nation's birds.

So, without any further ado, I give you Dr. Jeff Hostetler and David Zalkowski.
